I have switched back to my mechanical watch after wearing apple watch daily for 9 months.

Now wear mechanical watch to office on weekday and wear apple watch on weekend.

How about you guys who wear apple watch?

I got mine early July last year and used to wear it daily, now I still wear it but occasionally rotate with my mechanicals. I'm wearing my AW now as I'm typing this.

Got mine in Oct ... lasted only a week before i sold it off.

No added value ... .. and i realise that i was still taking my phone out of the pocket to look at notifications. There was this danger of scratching the beautiful screen despite screen protector.

Considering the fact that i have to charge the damm thing every night. I gave up and went back to my trusty Misfit Shine which tells time, fitness.sleep tracker and batt last 4 months.

still using it regularly.

when i went holiday last year for two weeks, didnt wear it cos hassle of bringing another charger.

wear it on days when I go gym, good to keep track of the time and use the timer function on the chronograph watch face.

on important occasions like dinner appointment or formal occasion, will wear my Tag or Tissot.

I do feel something missing whenever I don't wear the Apple Watch esp the vibration when notification comes in. i tend to put my phone on silent mode, so usually will miss a few calls .

overall, i feel a bit too expensive for how I am using it. but well ... with Apple Pay available in SG, it makes the Watch a bit more useful. LOL

As I exercise almost daily, the Apple Watch comes in handy. No need bring phone out when running anymore.
Looking forward to Apple Watch 2 as rumoured more functions, even maybe cellular capabilities.

Still wearing my SS milanese version now. Tried out Apple Pay and it was so convenient. Can't wait for local banks to support Apple Pay soon!

I don't like the timer function. the screen will turn off after a while.

for me gym rest 1 min interval still okay, I wish the crown could be used to start stop the timer.

Some people love the AW while some don't. I simply love mine and won't have to worry about getting it scratched as mine's the SS version.

I actually do find myself taking my phone out less from my bag/pocket and it's really useful especially if there're incoming sms/calls/whatsapp msgs and my hands are full. The AW really helped me on that.

I don't mind charging it after every use so it doesn't affect me. Overall the AW is a great accessory to the iPhone and looking forward to what AW 2 will offer this year.

my friend thought he would use it a lot but it turns out that he keeps forgetting to put it on, so he basically just wasted the watch XD

Sold off recently. Using LG Urbane 2 LTE currently. Will buy the next Apple Watch only if it support LTE (able to put a SIM card in).

Off Topic: If the watch had Network (e.g. LTE), I am able to connect (pair) using network and not only limit to bluetooth. Meaning, when my phone(left it at home) had messages, I would still be able to receive it on my watch. This is how the LG Urbane 2 work with my phone(Sony Android) currently. I carry 2 phones all the time. Hoped Apple Watch 2 will support LTE.

and bought many many straps for every occasion. :crazy:

i don't use it for other purposes, solely just time and activity functions on Airplane mode most of the time. can't be bothered to have my bluetooth turned on.
